Even in its philanthropic causes, Hermès continues to create magic with its design. Not that it surprises us. The latest design from the French fashion house is a collaboration with Panthera, the global wild cat conservation organization (founded in 2006 by Tom Kaplan and his wife Daphne Recanati Kaplan), to honor the work of wildlife artist Robert Dallet and raise awareness for eight species of big cats: Tiger, Lion, Jaguar, Snow Leopard, Leopard, Cheetah, Cougar and Clouded Leopard.

The fierce and fabulous Hermès Exceptional Silk Scarf: Carré Couture will feature Robert Dallet’s original sketches as reference. Eight artists worked in tandem to transpose the design to twenty-four individual printing frames which was then used to transfer the images onto silk twill at the Hermès atelier in Lyon, France. The entire engraving process took 1,400 hours of handwork. Following that, they were hand-embroidered with glasswork pearls, crystals and emeralds.

The initiative will include a presentation of Fierce and Fragile: Big Cats in the Art of Robert Dallet at The Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut from January 10 to March 13, 2016 where 75 of Dallet’s paintings, drawings, and sketches will be presented by Hermès and Panthera. The fashion brand will also unveil six handcrafted one-of-a-kind objects to be auctioned off by Sotheby’s during a gala dinner on January 8, with proceeds directed toward the Robert Dallet Initiative for Wild Cat Conservation.

The scarf’s retail price was marked at $48,000, but will be sold to the highest bidder at the gala event.

There is nothing more effortless than an Hermès scarf worn every which way. French women have it down. They toss it, knot it, twist it, and voilà — instant “Je ne sais quoi chic-ness.” But don’t fret! You, too, can achieve this look easily! Just follow these simple instructions for my favorite styles. I wear my scarves all summer long; on my bags, as belts, halter tops, tank tops, head wraps, skirts, you name it! They are so light and easy to travel with, so I never leave home without them. Check out all of these easy summer looks! At Hermès for $460.

This is, by far, my favorite way to wear a scarf. It’s really easy…just crisscross the top, wrap around your neck, pull the bottom tight and wrap around your waist. Simple, yet so sexy! Pair it with white, wide-leg pants, and you’ll be smokin’!

I love wearing my scarves as belts. It’s so easy to throw on a white t-shirt and white jeans, and add a splash of bright color without too much thought! The last thing you want to do while traveling is “think” about your clothes. Bring a collection of scarves with you, so you can just toss, twist and go!

In the world of fashion nothing spells British more aptly than Burberry. More so for its mono-tones that are strikingly elegant than anything else. This week will see the brand jump out of its traditional wagon and embracing some changes that are both new and a colourful uplift for Britain’s favourite fashion label. Celebrating Burberry scarves is The Burberry Scarf Bar – in-store and online – which will offer a range of lightweight and classic cashmere scarves including the iconic heritage shades such as camel, stone, charcoal, navy and parade red. The scarves are exemplary pieces of craftsmanship, weaved in a 200-year old mill in Elgin and another mill in Ayr, both in Scotland. The collection will feature more than 30 colours. To keep up with the times, the brand has also introduced a personalized responsive marketing campaign where a server will help you navigate through the site, keeping in mind your location, the weather there and personal choices. As also is typical of Burberry, the scarves can be monogrammed – more than 30 shades, up to three letters and available in two font sizes. The launch has been colourfully explained in a video ad. The Autumn/Winter 2015 collection has also updated the Burberry Poncho range with the addition of classic checks, prints and block colours.

As well as the Scarf Bar, Burberry has also – for the first time in its long history – introduced two new colours to its trench coat line. The Heritage Trench Coat Collection will now feature navy and parade red in addition to its honey, stone, and black palettes. The revolutionary British trench coat is keeping up with the times, without washing away its sturdy roots of tradition.
